Houston Dad Arrested For Helping Daughter Fight Classmate

Parents will go to extreme lengths to help their children, but this is too far. AHoustondad got arrested last Thursday (June 19) for helping his 14-year-old daughter beat up her classmate.

Darren Keith Patrick has his limits — he didn’t actually throw any blows he just held the 13-year-old victim up against a fence while his daughter kicked and hit her with a shoe.

Patrick is all about being a tag-team parent. Police from the Houston Independent School District say he followed the girl home from school on a bike, while his daughter pursued on foot. Once he caught up with the teen, he got off the bike and pushed the girl up against a chain-link fence as his daughter commenced with the attack.

Surveillance video caught Patrick and his daughter following the girl, and a witness recounted seeing the 45-year-old father detaining the girl.

Court documents state that the victim tried to defend herself but couldn’t break free from Patrick.

He was charged with injury to a child and is reportedly still being held on bail. No word on what happened to his daughter.
